Flawed and Fearless

This week, I share how community has changed my life, particularly in four areas. Those four areas are habits, physical health, moving/transitioning, and business.  I get vulnerable about some periods in my life when I was struggling and how being around a supportive community shifted the direction that I was headed.

After listening to my stories, you might feel like you’re currently doing an awesome job surrounding yourself with like-minded people OR that you might be lacking when it comes to support in specific areas of your life that you want to grow. “Sometimes you have to create what you want to be a part of.”

In today’s episode, I interviewed Chelsea Creekmore, CEO of Creekmore Marketing, founder of Bosses and Breadwinners, and self-made millionaire. She shares the best business advice that she’s received, and one of her favorite confidence quotes: “Confidence is not they will like me, confidence is saying I’ll be okay if they don’t.”

Chelsea has learned to openly share about her accomplishments, instead of previously feeling shame. She shares her achievements not to brag, but to inspire others that they can do it too.

In this week’s episode, you’ll get to meet my good friend, Susan Kuilder. She is someone who I have admired and respected since high school. Listen to our conversation as she defines herself as the millennial that tries to do it all, with a case of wanderlust on the side.

Susie shares about how she believes confidence includes three areas of life – mental, physical, and spiritual. Through trials and journeys, one of the biggest lessons she has learned is that it’s okay to not be okay all of the time.

This week, I share why I chose to focus on the topic of confidence in season two. Confidence truly impacts EVERYTHING in our lives and I'm opening up about a few seasons of my life when I was at a low point in my personal confidence journey. No matter where you're currently at in your confidence journey, I welcome you to listen today to either grow personally or bring someone else up to the next level in their journey.

Most people think that confidence comes from success, but it's the other way around. First comes confidence, then success follows. 

Let me know what you think of this episode on how "Comparison is the Thief of Confidence."

In today’s episode, I will be talking with Kim Huynh, owner of The Nail Shop in Lexington, KY. Kim started as a food and travel blogger, and recently opened a nail salon in March 2019. She has successfully set herself apart in the salon industry before they even opened their shop doors, and shares her favorite business tips and insights to differentiating yourself through marketing. 

Kim opens up about how she has transitioned through new seasons of life before opening her salon. She loves the analogy that some people in your life are the trunks and roots, and some are leaves and that’s okay. We also discussed how only negative things in life come automatically, so being fully aware and intentional will set your life on fire!

I'm so excited to kick off season two on confidence! Today's guest is Joelle Riding, a digital nomad and website designer. She has built her business through not only web design, but also as a travel agency, and photographer. Listen to hear more about how to eliminate excuses not only when it comes to travel, but also with your bigger vision. Some excuses are legitimate, and others are fear based and should be overcome. 

Joelle has learned to confidently love herself in her own skin. She believes every human is beautiful and should live in their unique gifts and talents. When it comes to tackling goals, she lives by a phrase from one of her favorite books: “It might have been done before, but it hasn’t been done by you.”

As she shared in the episode, Joelle is hosting a website design retreat in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. Click the link below for more details and how to apply to be a part of this unique opportunity!

When you look at your calendar, what emotions do you feel? What feelings does your schedule bring out in you? Do you feel overwhelmed? Stressed? Concerned about how everything is going to get done?

In this episode, I will be wrapping up season one about balance. After countless books, blogs, and articles studying time, balance, and productivity, I’ve compiled three of the most common tips that I’ve learned to make peace with your calendar.

There is a surprise guest on the show today, and he (yes, he) shares about one specific tool that has drastically impacted his productivity on a daily basis. It’s called the Storyline Productivity Schedule by Donald Miller.

In the episode, I referenced a friend of mine, Brittany Joiner. Brittany is the founder of Penge - a personal finance app that provides community, accountability and tracking for your financial goals. Brittany is a productivity guru and one of her favorite productivity hacks that she shared with me is to track your time!

We will be taking a two week break so make sure to subscribe and set your calendar to tune back in for season two, all about confidence, on April 24th!
